Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is adults' most common acute leukemia. Prognostic factors influencing treatment response and patient survival are diverse, the most relevant being those associated with specific cytogenetic and ...
Carbó Bagué, Anna (Date of defense: 2023-03-27)
In this doctoral thesis, the epidemiology of cutaneous and mucosal melanoma is analyzed, as well as its molecular profile to provide new knowledge on a population basis in the province of Girona. The cancer registry of ...
Carreras Badosa, Gemma (Date of defense: 2015-12-22)
Both the prenatal and postnatal environment have a profound impact on the risk for adult diseases. A model of catch-up growth following fetal growth restriction was set in Wistar rats to study changes in the gene expression ...
Tarradas Pou, Anna (Date of defense: 2017-03-14)
The SCN5A gene encodes the alpha subunit of the cardiac sodium channel (NaV1.5), which is responsible for the influx of sodium ions through membrane of cardiomyocytes. Different evidences suggest that an aberrant expression ...
Carreras Gorgals, David (Date of defense: 2023-05-30)
In a small region of the island of Gran Canaria, 11 cases of sudden cardiac death (SCD) were registered in emotional or physical stress situations in young individuals between 1994 and 2007 in four seemingly unrelated ...
Pérez Agustín, Adrián (Date of defense: 2023-03-28)
Brugada syndrome (SBr) is a cardiac electrical disease associated with a high susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Genetic variants in the coding regions of the SCN5A gene, which encodes for ...
Santos Carvajal, Nazly (Date of defense: 2022-11-25)
Study of the impact of UGT2B17 and PD-1 on allogeneic transplantation of hematopoietic progenitors (allo-TPH) from HLA-identical related donor. everal genetic factors can favor the development of graft-versus-host disease ...
Robles Cedeño, René (Date of defense: 2016-07-19)
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease of the central nervous system which has an unknown aetiology and an autoimmune mechanism. Two pathogenic processes, inflammation and neurodegeneration, converge causing a progressive ...
Celarain Sanz, Naiara (Date of defense: 2023-06-26)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune and neurodegenerative disease characterized by the infiltration of autoreactive immune cells into the central nervous system that leads to axonal damage, ...
Vallverdú Prats, Marta (Date of defense: 2023-02-03)
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an entity that groups different clinical forms of hereditable cardiac diseases that are associated to ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. The main cases are characterized ...
Sánchez-Molero Núñez, Olallo-Efrén (Date of defense: 2017-12-15)
Natural death defines the death primarily attributed to an illness or an internal malfunction of the body, and not directly influenced by external forces. Most causes can be identified directly with macroscopic forensic ...
Gubern Mérida, M. Carme (Date of defense: 2015-12-18)
Cerebral ischaemia is a potent inducer of gene expression, however, little is known about the mechanisms that regulate this expression. Studies of gene expression and the study of the mechanisms regulating this expression ...
Alcalde Masegu, Mireia (Date of defense: 2016-01-20)
La mort sobtada cardíaca (MSC) es defineix com una mort natural, repentina i d’origen cardíac que succeeix durant la primera hora des de l’inici dels símptomes fins el seu desenllaç final. La MSC és la manifestació més ...
Gonzalez Montes, Yolanda (Date of defense: 2024-04-12)
